- Elizabeth Truesdell06/02/2025Daniel gave us a great walking tour of Sydney, providing excellent historical stories and information along our route. He had guided friends of ours who had taken the tour previously, and we all enjoyed Daniel as a guide. Daniel also provided treats along the way, which was above and beyond.read moreread less
- YN Rao02/02/2025Andrew was incredibly friendly and guided us through a wonderful walking tour of Sydney’s landmarks. With his vast knowledge and engaging storytelling, he shared the history and fascinating stories behind each site. We truly had an unforgettable experience and highly recommend this tour!read moreread less
- Olga01/02/2025Claudia is a great host and she perfectly managed to build up some connections in the group, by the end of the tour we all felt like good old friends!
Nice difference from a regular pub crawl: nobody gets wasted, all the bars are top notch and you can choose a drink by yourself.read moreread lessAmelia31/01/2025Justin is a fantastic guide, clearly passionate about the area, the history and many delicious foods!
Masterfully organised and carried out, Justin tells great stories with a wealth of knowledge about the colourful history of the Australia – China relations and challenges over the years. With a great understanding and fluency in the language as well.
The delicious foods that Justin introduced us to along with their Chinese regional backgrounds and stories for each family run local business really brought Chinatown to life for us in new and otherwise unknown ways.
A pleasure to be part of a tour group with connections to new people and a future self guided tour/bingo list of the eateries to try and their signature or recommended dishes provided by Justin, all added to the delight of this tour and scrumptious foods.
Thank you Justin! I look forward to trying more of your tours around Sydney and elsewhere.read moreread less - Mitra31/01/2025As a local, I was convinced that eating in Chinatown was all about the grapes on the ceiling place. This tour was an eye-opener, introducing us to diverse food types from across many regions of China. Along the journey, we also learned about the history of Chinese settlement in Australia and how Chinatown came into being as a place. Justin was a great storyteller. His interactive approach helped us make new friends. The ‘Bingo Card’ he shared at the end of the tour was a great touch… I’m looking forward to visiting and ticking off the many other recommendations shared. Whether you’re a local or visiting Sydney for the first time… this tour has something for you… highly recommend!read moreread lessFelicity31/01/2025What a fanastic tour of China Town. If you have ever been to china town and found your self wandering around and wanting to know more about the history and they different types of food then this is a tour for you. I am a local who has lived in Sydney for 25 years and visited china town many times but never known the history and or where to do to eat. This tour has opened my eyes and given me a greater appreciation for the history of Chinese in Australia and the many different types of food.read moreread less
- Jara29/01/2025Fantastic walking tour to learn about Australian and Sydney’s history. Justin was fantastic and quick to modify our tour when we had a little rain. We were able to see so much and learn some insider info on how to see amazing parts of Sydney without spending so much money! Would highly recommend & have booked his guide company for when we visit Brisbane!read moreread less
- Theodore27/01/2025I have done a couple of tours with Local Sauce Tours – some walking tours and a secret bar crawl. I highly recommend either for both solo tourists and locals! Justin and the team are very friendly and knowledgeable – you get to learn a lot of interesting stuff, meet very interesting people and explore places you typically wouldn’t go to. Definitely a great experience when you’re in Sydney!read moreread less

- Bek22/01/2025I did The Rocks Secret Bar Crawl with this group last year and enjoyed it so much that I booked the Darlinghurst/Surry Hills one when I was back in Sydney recently. Both tours were fantastic! Justin is a great guide and I’ve enjoyed getting to explore new bars while learning a bit of history. Also as a solo traveller these tours have been a great way to meet new people. Highly recommend them! Editing to add – So glad these guys have now launched in my city (Brisbane). I did the Saturday bar tour with Nicole last month and discovered a couple of local bars I didn’t know about despite living here for 6 years. Each one had a totally different vibe and were fun to explore.read moreread less
- Suksiri L14/12/2024It was a great experience for me to join the tour which collaborated with Fujfilm X- M5
All the restaurants we went to were outstanding, the tastes were fantastic, the tour guide; Justin was very friendly and very knowledgeable about food and history of Newtown. I definitely recommend all the food lovers, photography lovers and great socialising ! 100% must try for your memorable experience!read moreread less - Diana B12/12/2024This has to be the best tour I’ve ever been on. Daniel is the most amazing guide, his knowledge is extraordinary and he shares it with passion and fun. Thoroughly recommend this – we learnt more about Sydney in these three hours than the whole week and really enjoyed the experience. Thank you Dan, you are great!read moreread less
- Paul R08/12/2024This was a brilliant trip, due to Daniel and his knowledge. Anything he didn’t know which wasn’t much, he found out by contacting his office.
We walked round roads we normally wouldn’t have and learnt about all the history.
A great journey which took 40 minutes longer than expected as Daniel explained everything and answered lots of questions.read moreread lessJourney5664344216808/12/2024Our bar crawl was an unforgettable journey through Sydney’s finest bars, and Daniel, our host, made it truly exceptional. With his background as an ex-bartender and a local history tour guide, he added a rich layer of storytelling, sharing fascinating historical insights about Sydney’s streets.
Daniel’s recommendations for local drinks and food were spot on, making the experience both authentic and flavorful. Beyond the bars, the camaraderie among the group was incredible—we made amazing connections with fellow participants, which added to the overall enjoyment.
If you’re visiting Sydney, this bar crawl is an absolute must-try. It’s the perfect way to explore the city’s vibrant nightlife and immerse yourself in its history and culture.read moreread lessExplore0313985924807/12/2024Outstanding tour of the city! A great way to learn about the history of Sydney and get a better understanding of the overall layout of the area. would recommend doing this on your first day. Steve was our guide and did an excellent job. He knew so much about the history and had great general knowledge of Sydney as he is a local. We had a stop at a bakery midway which was nice and at the end finished at the Squire on the harbor for a beer. Nice touch. Steve gave us a good reco for dinner as we ended our tour at 6:30. Perfect way to end the day.read moreread less - Queenie T06/12/2024For our team Christmas party, we took the Chinatown Tour – Street Food & Stories. Justin took us on an informative, emotional and tasty journey. It’s often said that when living in a city, you don’t get the opportunities to appreciate the history and culture. Thanks to Local Sauce Tours providing a enjoyable reminder of just how amazing our own backyards are.read moreread lessCompass73789030/11/2024We did this walking tour to help orientate ourselves in Sydney CBD. The tour was fun and interesting. Steve, our tour guide was full of lots of fun facts. We used a lot of his recommendations during our remaining time in Sydney. A great way to learn about the Sydney CBD.read moreread less
- jacqualinm201726/11/2024The small group walking tour was fantastic. It was the best way learn about the city especially during the first few days of our visit. We enjoyed the history, architecture, public art and quirky little laneways that we would have never found on our own. I particularly liked learning about the indigenous history of the area. Our guide Michael was very knowledgeable and even gave us some suggestions for places to visit and eat.
Finishing the tour with a beverage at a venue with a view was great.read moreread lessU7237MEdawnp23/11/2024This walking tour was so much fun! Our tour guide, Steven, was a native Australian and definitely knew his history. We went a decent distance all around the city, so wear your comfy shoes! Steven was awesome to chat with along the way, and there are a couple of refreshment/restroom stops along the way. If you’re looking for a comprehensive walkabout Sydney, this should definitely be the walking tour you take!read moreread less - W1391ETmelb18/11/2024We had a small group. The tour guide ensured we all introduced ourselves. He was an extremely knowledgeable man and the tour was very interesting. We got to see the highlights of historic Sydney and see/ find out things we wouldn’t have been able to without the guide. I thoroughly recommend joining a group.read moreread less

- Ben Scott05/02/2023Awesome experience doing the Chinatown food tour today! Both my parents couldn’t stop raving about this experience and the food they would never of eaten plus the local art work we would have just walked past/ history of the area.
This was a great experience and could recommend this tour highly enough. As a Sydney sider I was gob smacked with how good the tour was! Definetly will be back for more tours! Thanks for the awesome hospitality Justin!read moreread less - Melis Akiz14/01/2020Aussie You’s Secret Bar Crawl covering the Darlinghurst and Surry Hills neighborhoods was easily the highlight of my time in Sydney! Justin took us to some really unique places and made sure that everyone in the group connected well that most of us chose to continue our night after the tour was completed. You should definitely try this tour and I promise you will not just have a blast but also enjoy a unique experience with a knowledgeable and caring guide that you will not forget.read moreread less
- Kate Chen14/12/2019Justin的bar crawl非常值得來參加!整個晚上就像是有個當地朋友帶你去只有當地人才知道的酒吧去玩,他選了風格不同且都很獨特的酒吧,是我們不會知道要去的地方。
Justin人非常友善及幽默風趣,讓你覺得很自在放鬆且有趣!
另外他中文説得也很不錯,所以不用擔心英文不夠好。很推薦參加Justin的bar crawl tour 完美體驗當地夜生活 :)
Justin’s bar crawl is so much fun! It’s like a local friend showing you around the coolest bars while you visit his city! He picked the bars that you would not go by yourselves and he is very friendly and fun to hang out with! Perfect for solo travelers to meet new friends and enjoy local night vibe! Highly recommended!read moreread lessBen Ridding11/12/20195 out of 5 stars. Joined the hidden bar tour after finding a flyer for AussieYou Tours in the hostel I was staying. Tour was great, got to see a completely different bar scene that you would just not find from google searches or normal research methods. Pretty sure that most Sydney residents would not be aware of some of the bars we went to. Justin was a fantastic host, as well as taking the group around cool bars he kept the group entertained with interesting history on Sydney and teaching us Aussie Slang. Would recommend this tour for anybody visiting Sydney and for Sydney residents who want to see a side to the city they might not have been before.read moreread less - Sarah Ann12/04/2019I went on Justin’s secret city bar crawl tour in Sydney with a friend. We had such an amazing time that we had to book the secret Surry Hills bar crawl as well! Both nights were exceptional and Justin is a really good host! The bars we went to were really cool and I definitely would not of stumbled across them!! I really do recommend going on these tours if you are in Sydney, you won’t be disappointed!read moreread less
